What’s Holding You Back from Saving More? – OpenLine September 2025

On this episode of NewsChannel 5’s OpenLine, Paul Winkler dives into why so many people delay saving and investing — and how fear, confusion, and even social pressures can quietly sabotage financial success. Drawing on his background in both finance and psychology, Paul explains how our emotions shape money decisions, why we often trust the wrong financial “experts,” and what practical steps can help people finally get ahead.

He also discusses common traps like overconfidence in big investment firms, chasing trends like AI stocks, and underestimating the power of starting early. With relatable examples and plain talk, Paul shows how understanding your own behavior may be the key to building long-term wealth — and peace of mind in retirement.
